I renice my setiathome processes when I'm AFK . I setup the renice command as
follows:
ps auxw|grep setiathome| awk '{ if ($11 == "setiathome") print $2 }' | xargs
echo renice 20
That makes sure the grep doesn't get caught in the pipe to xargs.
Now, if someone could show me how to stuff the renice command into the command
line history/buffer from a shell script I wouldn't have to copy/paste it
afterwards.
Donncha.
